Static clinical guidelines

This table lists NICE published clinical guidelines that have been transferred to the static list. Guidance is moved to the static list following consultation with consultees.

The following criteria have been applied to identify suitable guidelines to be placed on the static list:

No quality standard commissioned

Or

A previous full review which yielded a ‘no update' decision and at that time no major ongoing studies/research was identified as due to be published in the near future (that is within the next 3-5 years)

Clinical guidelines placed on the static list will be reviewed every 5 years to determine if they should remain on the static list. Routine surveillance every 2 years (as per the process for active guidelines) would not be carried out on guidelines transferred to the static list.

Consideration to transfer a clinical guideline back to the active surveillance list may occur in the following circumstances:

The high level review at 5 years yields new evidence which may impact on the guidance

Stakeholders notify NICE of relevant new evidence which may impact on guidance at any time point, for example safety data.

A quality standard is commissioned that relates to a guideline on the static list
